Showcase|2023
Welcome to UWE Fashion Textiles Class of 2023
Fashion is an open question; a constantly evolving network of people, places and processes. Its unwieldy margins and unending social and cultural potential can sometimes feel at odds with the meticulous discipline at the heart of its craft. This publication is a snapshot of Student responses to the question of Fashion. Through their work they illuminate Fashion’s potential to resonate; to shape attitudes, to advocate for change and to illuminate the human experience. The way Fashion can tell stories.
As the Class of 2023 embark on their futures, we are confident that they will continue to explore and respond to the question of Fashion – to pose new questions, develop new narratives and give Fashion new stories to tell.
Class of 23, it has been a pleasure working with you and we wish you every success.

The Process of Making One Hundred Chairs Martino
The geographical, historical and human resonance of design: what can they tell us about their place of origin or their previous sociological context and even their previous owners- the stories behind the chairs are as important as their style or even their function.

Methods of fastening garments together have developed a lot since the 1800s. Cord and bows were often used, as well as buttons and eyelets. These eyelets were small metal rings sewn into place with a heavy weight thread; they were not fully metal eyelets we see on clothing today.
I want to use these joining methods in my designs, rather than being reliant on modern joining methods such as poppers, zips and elastic.

e images on this page found from books encompass the vintage aesthetic I am trying to evoke. I intend to create designs containing traditional techniques and interesting tailoring, while creating authentic and original shapes. Utilising joining and fastening methods from times gone by when there was less modern fastening methods is something I will be pulling into my design work going forward in this

Shapes from this print design inspired by colour palette responses from my research project
The initial placement on a sportier sweatshirt felt more appropriate after sampling- the defined large shapes and black outlines lend themselves to a sportier more streetwear look.
